Did the feeling of let down catch you by surprise when you first started nursing? You're not alone!

Please note, not everyone will feel when their milk lets down. While it's normal over the course of your breastfeeding journey to experience it less, it can also be normal to never experience a specific sensation with let down.

I wish I would have known this when I was breastfeeding 😄

One common food myth that persists is the belief that those that are nursing should avoid chocolate. Some people think that the stimulant compounds in cocoa, caffeine and theobromine, might make babies fussy. However, when consumed in moderate amounts, these substances are unlikely to affect a baby’s behavior.

No, while chocolate does contain theobromine and caffeine, the amount is usually small and even less passes into your milk." The La Leche League USA logo is below the text.
